Hi Sifus,

Can I get your honest feedback for Livinox Hood LCH Copper 90ss and livinox hob 4318ICS?

Wanted to buy this but seems Rinnai offers a similar range and I am undecided whether should I go for this set for around rm3k?

Copper is L share design, dont think rinnai have this type. As for price, Hood + electrical hope, i think rinnai cant get RM 3k unless getting lower spec hood as their hybrid hob already 2k+ = Livinox hood + hob price already


Livinox so far ok except u cant use both side max for the electric hob. However, we dont always use both sides maximum, so can tolerate on this since the price is so much cheaper

side by side

Cheap cheap Midea you get 1 induction and 1 ceramic. Slightly below RM1k.

If you want to spend the entire RM2k on a hob then Electrolux will get you a 2 place induction.

RM2.5k can get a Bosch Series 8 induction as well.

That one by Midea is pretty good and can vouch for it that it is a good one as we used one for 2 months before moving to a different place. Only thing have to be careful with the glass as it does scratch easily.

electrolux (rated 3200watt) rm2.2 to 2.4k should b this model

Hi, I already install this hood, unfortunately it cannot fit my duct size, is it possible if i change this model using charcoal filter only without exh. out the smoke?
if cannot suggest me new hood ductless.

What size ducts involved?

6inch duct size.

The size of duct is 6 inch? What is the size that hood needs?

hi guys. anyone here using rubine thora ss 1500m3/h hood?
planning to replace my existing 1000m3/h rubine hood.

for thora price, u can get fotile ems9020, about the same price but fotile more reliable brand

Hey guys, how do you replace the built in gas hob with different size? My gas hob is installed on a cut out of concrete.

Edit: found some hob with flexible installation size.

measure ur current hole size and we can suggest u something that fit

Read all the posts from page 1 and really want Fotile Hood & Hob but budget 2k only.

You guys so kaya, donate some for me pls so i can get Fotile

actually not to say ppl kaya or not, c willing to buy better products or not.

i c some customers holding iphone worth rm 3-4k but tell me no $$
long term investment and for whole family, get something reliable.

This I agree. Different people have different priority. When you see people buying expensive appliances, it doesn’t actually mean he got more money than you. Sometimes it is just because they choose to spend less somewhere else and choose to spend more for appliances.

I have seen people spending 20k on handbag and watches, but choose to buy elba/faber level of appliances

FOTILE EMS9018 or TEKA DBW90 ?

big price difference (fotile is more expensive, at least 2x of the Teka!) but currently fotile is doing merdeka sales - 5+5 yrs warranty (on hood motor).

Need help from all the sifus here. Bought a new condo and thinking to replace the existing built in eletrolux kitchen hood n hobs. Is looking at following fotile combo but not sure which to pick
JQG9009t + GHG78211
EMS9020 + GHG78211

Obviously, the JQG9009t is latest technology and better, but wonder if it really worth spending the extra thousand. Both me and my wife are working and probably just gonna do some cooking weekend and occasionally for small house party. Want to hear the sifus thought

Also, what worry me of JQG9009t is the flap. Not sure how reliable it is before it stops open 🤣

i using the first gen, about 6 - 7 years d, no issue. the flap comes with 3 years warranty, rarely spoil. FOtile products are high quality, dont worry

My existing exhaust hole is 150mm but fotile hoods all require 180mm and my apartment management would not allowed modifying it. Will that affect the performance and reliability of the hoods?
